The good, the bad and the downright criminal.

The DSA is cracking down on illegal driving instructors; another illegal instructor has been successfully prosecuted and convicted for fraud.

You can read the latest story as published on DSA. In this case the illegal driving instructor was an individual who had failed a check test, did not turn up for the second one, and was subsequently removed from the ADI register, and thus no longer allowed to take money for giving tuition.

The individual however continued to offer cheap driving lessons to some students probably giving an excuse that she was now operating independently and could afford the discount! Well she got away with it for a while, but in the end, the long arm of the law caught up with her.

If you are currently learning to drive, and are using dirt cheap driving lessons, you could be aiding someone to break the law, always check your instructors’ DSA registration badge to confirm they are legal.
